Angered and dismayed by a call on June 17th for an armistice, the officers and cadets of the Cavalry School had vowed to fight for their own honor and that of France. Southeast of Saumur, lay the Aunis Farm, a French command post and staging area. Through a misunderstanding, the cadets positioned there had not advanced to the Loire River when the Germans began their crossing attempt, so they hurriedly prepare to defend the farm in an effort to contain the enemy bridgehead. They had hardly finished when enemy mortar rounds began landing around them. . .

Attacker: German (Schwadron 3, Kavallerie Regiment 1)

Defender: French (Cadets of the École de Cavalerie / Cadets of the St-Maxient École d'Infanterie / 19éme Dragons, 1er Groupe Franc de Cavalerie)

Fun scenario. My Germans managed to get to the first building, but Dan's French ringed the second building with hull down tanks and plenty of supporting infantry. My Germans would not get the win.

French win

German needed to take a last turn rush for the second building and was totally failed by the dice. Should have been closer than it was.

Very enjoyable scenario, though my Trench set-up was flawed and ultimately provided the German attacker with a protected route to the second farmhouse VC location. The game saw some interesting turns of luck including Gusts which allowed a fair bit of fire, followed by a breeze which provided the French reinforcements with smoke cover only to have it stripped away by Heavy Winds! The French seemed unable to pass MCs or shoot straight, excpet the sniper which almost single handedly stopped the German left flank attack by killing all its leaders and breaking squads. The Germans had poor luck with their mortar smoke or lack thereof and their Air Support jammed its MGs on the first shot and was Recalled. in the end it came down to the last CC phase although with an almost certain German victory which is how it ended.
